As football’s governing body in England, safeguarding is a fundamental aspect of The FA’s role – and that of its affiliated members.

Collectively we have an ongoing duty to ensure the game is a safe, positive and enjoyable experience for the millions of children, young people and adults who regularly play, watch, coach, referee and volunteer.

This ongoing work is all underpinned by our Safeguarding Children policies & procedures, which you can access here:

We would encourage all junior clubs to host these policies & procedures on club websites, social media platforms or in the information packs you provide to parents and carers.
